Our Parish is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for people of all ages, with special concern for children, young people and vulnerable adults. This commitment is made in the spirit of Christ’s teachings on behalf the clergy, staff and volunteers who serve in the parish, schools, and other Catholic organisations in the Parish. The Diocese will respond to complaints of unprofessional conduct in ways that reflect nationally established standards and protocols and ensure adherence to applicable legislation. We are committed to providing ongoing pastoral support to any person affected by physical, emotional or sexual abuse by church personnel.

A program of walking tours, open houses and a visit by Bishop Paul Bird marked the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of Mary Mackillop’s departure from Portland to Penola; where with Fr Julian Tenison-Woods she founded the Sisters of St Joseph in March 1866, eventually leading her on a path to sainthood.
